Re: Getting Voiceover to Speak at Logon Screen

Hi, Using VO navigation you should be able to easily find it. I checked in Big Sur on a 2013 MacBook Air and in Monterey on a 2015 MacBook Air and was able to quickly find the button with VO-right. • open System Prefs. • type user then press VO-space. • VO-FN-right then a few VO-lefts to find

Hi! Yes, I agree. Even though I am not that antisocial person. But go for the 13 if you want. More battery and better sound. Go for the mini if you want a smaller device. /A > 15 mars 2022 kl. 03:02 skrev Phil Halton : > > Lainer sounds interesting but I don’t do social distancing. People don’t

Hi, You should only need to interact when there is a table, a scroll area or some other element that requires you to gain more detail. If you use VO-navigation, that is, VO-right/left, you should never miss any elements within the VO Utility. To verify what you’ve set your specific activity

They don’t stick. This is happening on some machines. I have had at least four instructors go through these steps and I have done this myself several times. I think there may be an issue with this feature at this time. Merv > On Mar 15, 2022, at 12:11 PM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries >

I usually single tap twice. But I really don’t think it matters at this point. I’ve double tapped and it still works. It is a very strange issue. I do not use file fault. I do have MonteRay. Merv > On Mar 15, 2022, at 9:39 AM, Fazil M. wrote: > > Do you tap once or double tap? > Thanks! > >

Yes once the MacBook Pro boots I tap the trackpad and the Mac says VoiceOver and I can then enter my password. Then I hit enter and the Mac logs in. Merv > On Mar 15, 2022, at 7:23 AM, Fazil M. wrote: > > I am having the same problem that you have with my MacBookPro2017. > Do you do

Probably. I am calling the thing in front of the spacebar on my MacBook Pro the track pad because of the trackpad commanders. Not to be confused with the touchbar above the number keys that everyone but me despises. Merv > On Mar 15, 2022, at 7:08 AM, Fazil M. wrote: > > Is track pad and
